The final film by pioneering Israeli director Amos Gutman, completed shortly before his death from AIDS.
Shaul, a young man living in Tel Aviv, drifts through his days burdened by a deep sense of existential loneliness. Moving between a gray apartment, a dull job, and empty nights out, he searches for love, meaning, and genuine human connection.
Like many of Gutman’s protagonists, Shaul carries within him a profound sense of alienation -sensitive, human, yet a stranger in his own homeland. Through everyday scenes, minimalist dialogue, and poetic, melancholic imagery, Gutman paints a tender and haunting portrait of a man yearning to find grace in a harsh and loveless world.
